~HUSH~

I am your sweetest desire

 or your darkest primordial fear

lingering in the shadows

       waiting to pounce

sending shivers up your spine

in pools of salty sweat

  or a radiant dance

              on starlit moonbeams

      with sultry delight

i will enchant you off your feet

or drag you to hell

you might manage a smile or a whimper

         screaming out in agony or passion

hidden behind closed doors of night

i am lucid & ethereal, 

       a breathing entity

  elusively  transcendent

         you may not capture me

HUSH~

 and sweetly close your eyes

not sure when I'll be back again

So enthralling and gratifying when we have such power over someone, isn't it? The power to take someone to those ecstatic heights or push them down an abyss of pain! I see you revel in that thought here Frieda and I just went on that pleasure ride myself. Thanks for propelling me!

[Frieda P]

Ha, anytime sister, anytime! ;-)

[InsanityWriter]

You always write such ethereal poems... Beautiful. ^_^

[luviva]

you left me hanging..
i pictured lovers playing hide n seek..
felt like that in the last two lines.
nice one loved it

[Michael G.]

Hauntingly good. I feel I just got caught between dream and reality... and I'm not sure I want to leave either.

[Frieda P]

You're good Mike, I wrote it about dreaming, then tweaked it a bit...thanks so much.

[Onyia-Ali, Kingsley Chu..]

Fantastic, the arragement of words are denouncing from the climax. I appreciate the description and imagery used to create sensation and what the persona is capable of doing. wel done.

[Frieda P]

So glad you enjoyed this one Onyia-ota.

[Tai Ryens]

I had a sexual deviant in mind after I read this.

[Frieda P]

Perhaps...

[Thomas Fitzgerald]

[Frieda P]

Thanks Thomas, much appreciated.

"I am your sweetest desire or your darkest primordial fear" genius!
I think I'm becoming dyslexic though cuz I read "moonbeams" as "boonmeabs" and was about to do it again -_-
Your poem has a chilling effect. I love that about you!

[Frieda P]

Ha that happens to me too, you're too kind dear Siren!

[Blue Ivory]

Lol you deserve praise :3

[jacob erin-cilberto]

"she's not there" a classic...love that group.

and yes, this poem...that seductive borderline between passion and fear...

titillating...to be snared in that trap. trapped in desire.

[Frieda P]

Great song, thanks jacob, glad you enjoyed it.
